Topic: Wii U - Worst System Name in History?

why not just go with 'yeehaw'...it would make as much sense. the name is horrible.

Everytime you hear a siren you'll think of the new system. Wii U Wii U Wii U.

They should have used stream

@Demon: I saw it, it was perfectly visible on the big screen. Looks like a curvy Wii. There's a lil pic in the link below...

I'm guessing the design is far from final which is why they were reluctant to show it, blah.

stop trolling please nintendo is a clever company in my opinion and has awesome franchises i see the fun in the name but come on a name does not make a consolle dumb that is just stupid

did someone say WEEYOOOU?

I don't like it. It sounds lame and doesn't even have a fun sound to it like if they followed up on the Wii's ridiculous name and called it the Woo Wii or something to be even more silly.

hahahahaha i hadn't even thought of that, nice catch

@Waveboy

A step back in innovation?

I was checking videos out on E3.nintendo's website and saw many fun clever ways to use the new controller. It looks wicked fun. It's basically taking the concept of the GCN&GBAdvance and expanding on it.

Wii U, the name I'll get over it. I mean, they have the balls to stick with the name "Wii" because the "self-proclaimed" hardcore hate Wii (they know who they are).

I'm looking forward to getting my hands on it.

But most importantly, Smash Bros

That's gonna be an expensive controller...?

Oh god Wii U is fugly.

it is a weird name...but I do feel empty. I liked the conference, but the Wii U...something seems off about it. I think they should have dived into it more deeply to spark more interest.

@Waveboy: Did you even watch the show? D: Wiimote/nunchuk are still compatible. And if developers have half a brain they will still support them in games that benefit from them. Gah!

Wii U? Really? It's now official: Nintendo sucks at naming consoles.

Its kinda a weird name. I wouldn't say it is the worst name in history but I would have preferred Wii 2 than Wii u but its ok. I'm gonna have to get use to saying Wii u for now on.

Ok, I'll develop on my last post now that I've read a little more about it. Wii U is a terrible name. Although about as terrible as Wii, so I guess we'll get used to it. The MASSIVE controller is fugly. Although, now I've read it a little more, I'm glad it's not required. That sucker's going to munch batteries when in use, though.

"Hey, guys, let's judge the whole console and the whole future of Nintendo based on just its name and a couple of tech demos!"

This thing is gonna be awesome. Don't deny.

Wii U, more like pee-yew if you ask me.

Don't like the name really, its definetly not gonna tempt the hardcore COD players and the like away from their PS3/360's IMO. Looks like their keeping the branding,logo's etc the same but thats understandable given Wii's success but I think it will still be tarnished with the 'kiddy reputation' at least for the first couple of years.
Regardless of that I think the console itself has a huge amout of potential. When I first saw the controller I was skeptical as it looked so huge but after reading a couple of hands on reports it sounds like its comfortable to hold which is a relief. And now I can keep playing Zelda while on the toilet having a Wii pU, it don't get better than that!

I can just see it...

"Have you got any WiiU's in stock?"

Fffuuu I'm ordering this thing online.
